I
am going to hold one Sunday art class a month for all who want extra
classes and for those who can't make it regularly on other days.

February's Special Sunday Art Class will be held on the 17th of February. It will be 3 hours long, and students can stay for 2 or 3 hours.

The cost per students will be $30 for 2 hours or $45 for 3 hours.

In February's class we will do ceramics using hand turned wheels, animal portraits in oils and basic drawing focusing on shading and dramatic light / dark contrasts. Students can focus just on one aspect or do 2 or all 3.

Students wanting
to do ceramics will need to get a tub of crayola air-dry clay or let me
know in advance to get some for them and pay for it on the day. The
cost for a tub is around $5 (the larger tubs are about $8).

Please let me know whether you would like to participate as soon as you can. I am limiting the class to 10 students.

Recommendation for art teacher, Thomasin Dewhurst

“I have known Thomasin for a number of years in both her capacities as a student of fine art and a professional artist. She is a dedicated and highly talented artist and accomplished educator. Rarely is such talent available to those wishing to further their art education and take their artistic skills to (much) higher levels.” June 15, 2012

I use the Faber Piano Adventures series books for my students who are learning the piano. I have found these books to be thorough and very clearly presented, with many very enjoyable and varied pieces. My students, from the very young beginning pianist to the intermediate level adult pianist, find these books stimulating and challenging without being frustrating.

Faber Piano Adventures books include the Lesson, Performance, Technique and Artistry, and Theory books plus the supplementary Gold Star Performance, Popular Repertoire, Christmas, and a new sight-reading book.

Faber also offers many other piano book for early and beginning students such as books on improvisation, duets, collections of rock 'n roll pieces, classics, favorite pieces, and many more.
